Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for emptying garbage containers into a collecting container with a lifting device arranged on the collecting container with a lifting slide and at least one swiveling device arranged on the lifting device with a swivel arm, on which a receiving device for detecting the waste container is arranged.
  • Such an emptying device is known for example from DE 36 40 132 AI.
  • This lifting device has receiving devices for garbage containers and for two household garbage cans arranged side by side.
  • the small household bins are hung on a pick-up comb, which is attached to a swiveling device arranged on the lifting device, with which the container is tipped into the collecting container.
  • the disadvantage of this known device is that the height of the receiving device is predetermined by the movability of the lifting carriage and is therefore limited. According to the applicable occupational safety directives, the garbage containers must be picked up from the ground, ie the lifting slide must be able to be extended downwards to meet the requirement to be able to pick up smaller containers from the ground. This requirement is achieved in the known device in that the lifting device extends correspondingly downwards, but this considerably reduces the ground clearance.
  • Another disadvantage is the fact that the container receptacle inside the side Guide rails is arranged and therefore the positioning of the container on the receptacle is difficult for the garbage worker.
  • DE-OS 26 54 542 describes a lifting and tipping device with a four-bar guide which carries the container receptacle at one end and which is pivotally mounted on a swivel arm at the other end.
  • the lower link is extended towards the collecting container and forms an actuating lever on which a cylinder piston arrangement acts.
  • the four-bar guide In the retracted state of the cylinder piston arrangement, the four-bar guide is pivoted downward with the container receptacle, so that the container can be accommodated. In this position, both links of the four-bar linkage point obliquely downwards.
  • the container receptacle is pivoted upwards on a circular arc until the container edge of the waste container is gripped by the locking bar.
  • the cylinder piston arrangement In this position, which also corresponds to the rest position, the cylinder piston arrangement is not yet fully extended and the actuating lever points obliquely downwards.
  • the articulation point of the cylinder piston arrangement on the actuating lever forms the lowest point of the device and defines the ground clearance that is available to the vehicle while driving.
  • the piston or pistons of the cylinder piston arrangement is / are thereby exposed to damage.
  • Another disadvantage of this known variant is that the cylinder-piston arrangement must have a correspondingly large length, so that telescopic cylinders must be used.
  • the object of the invention is, based on DE-OS 36 40 132, to improve the limited ground clearance of vertically conveying lifters and to increase the scope for the receiving height of the containers on the device, the actuating device being to be largely protected from damage.
  • a device for emptying waste containers in which a four-bar guide with an upper link and a lower link is arranged on the swivel arm, which carries the lifting frame with the receiving device.
  • the upper link is extended beyond its articulation point on the swivel arm towards the collecting container and forms an actuating lever between the free end and the lifting slide of which a cylinder piston arrangement is articulated.
  • the cylinder piston arrangement is actuated, the articulation point on the actuating lever moves on an arc between the two articulation points of the four-bar guide on the swivel arm.
  • the articulation point of the cylinder piston arrangement lies higher up than is the case in the prior art, so that the piston or pistons of the cylinder piston arrangement are not so heavily contaminated and is exposed to damage. Furthermore, the ground clearance is increased by the device according to the invention, because the cylinder piston arrangement does not protrude downward.
  • the articulation point of the cylinder piston arrangement lies in the area between the upper and lower articulation point of the four-bar guide on the swivel arm and, in the presence of two four-bar guides, in the space between the two four-bar guides, as a result of which the cylinder piston arrangement is even better protected .
  • This also contributes to the fact that the distance between the two articulation points of the four-bar guide on the swivel arm is preferably greater than the length of the actuating lever.
  • the overall length of the cylinder piston arrangement can be significantly shorter than in the known device, so that no telescopic cylinder is necessary.
  • the radius of the path of movement of the articulation point of the cylinder piston arrangement on the upper handlebar is smaller during the entire movement sequence than in the device according to DE-OS 26 54 542.
  • the cylinder piston arrangement is arranged and designed for pivoting the receiving device onto the lifting slide and for pivoting the receiving device into the pouring opening of the collecting container.
  • the receiving device can be pivoted in the lowest position of the lifting carriage away from it and thus at the same time downward on a circular arc, so that the lifting device does not have to be driven down as far as would be necessary if this pivoting operation to accommodate the container to be emptied would not be provided. This training also contributes to increasing the ground clearance.
  • the cylinder piston arrangement When the receiving device is pivoted out into the receiving position, the cylinder piston arrangement is completely retracted. This means that the Zindlenkolbenanordnun ⁇ partially extended in the pivoted state and is fully extended when the waste container is swung into the opening.
  • the lifting frame can be lifted with the lifting slide of the lifting device in a superimposed movement after picking up the waste container.
  • This has the advantage that the locked position of the waste container is out of the reach of the operating personnel, thereby reducing the risk of accidents. At the same time, this also saves time.
  • the container is locked before the end of the stroke, advantageously between the receptacle and a locking bar which is attached between the swivel arms and overlaps the container edge.
  • the articulation point of the swivel arm is preferably above the articulation point of the cylinder piston arrangement on the lifting slide. The greater the distance between the articulation points and the closer the articulation point of the cylinder piston arrangement is to the vertical going through the articulation point of the swivel arm, the greater the available swivel angle when tipping into the pouring opening.
  • the cylinder piston arrangement advantageously has only a single pressure medium cylinder, whereby the device can be further simplified.
  • two swivel arms and two four-bar guides can also be arranged in a double arrangement between the lifting frame and lifting carriage.
  • the two upper links are preferably bent behind their pivot point on the respective swivel arm and on their actuating levers connected with each other.
  • the pressure medium motor is articulated at a connection point between the actuating levers.
  • the cylinder piston arrangement can be controllable by a control device connected to a container detection system.
  • the entire device is advantageously controlled by the signals coming from the container detection system.
  • the control processes include, among other things, that the lifting carriage and the receiving device are brought into the correct position for the waste container to be emptied.
  • the lifting frame is moved upwards manually or by triggering the container or data carrier and the receiving device engages in being carried along on the container, preferably under the edge of the container.
  • the separation of the lifting device and pivoting device has the advantage that the lifting frame can be pivoted in at any height of the collecting container in order to empty the container.
  • a suction device is arranged on the lifting frame, which rests on the body of the refuse container during the recording in order to secure it during the entire emptying process.
  • the garbage container to be emptied is thereby fixed at an early stage, specifically before the locking bar engages over the edge of the garbage container and in this way locks the garbage container on the receiving device.
  • Fig. 2 is a side view of the entire emptying device during the

  • Fig. 4b is a vertical section through the device shown in Fig. 4a, the section plane being parallel to the paper plane, and
  • Fig. 5 is a front view of the device shown in Fig. 1.
  • the collecting container 3, into which the waste container 1 is to be emptied, can for example be arranged on a waste vehicle.
  • a pouring opening 4 is provided on the upper side of the collecting container 3, but further pouring openings 4 'can also be arranged below the pouring opening 4, as is shown by way of example in FIG. 2.
  • a rail 46 is arranged on a side wall 45 in the vertical direction, on which a lifting slide 6 is guided.
  • a cable pull 9 engages on the lifting carriage 6 and is connected to a lifting pressure motor 7 via deflection rollers. By extending the upper piston 8a and retracting the lower piston 8b the cable 9 moves and thus the lifting carriage 6 is pulled upwards in the vertical direction.
  • Two swivel arms 40a, b are arranged on the lifting slide 6 and are connected to the lifting frame 11 via two four-bar guides 30a, b. Of the four-bar guides, only the lower link 32a of the front four-bar guide 30a can be seen in the position shown here. Furthermore, the locking bar 19 is attached to the lifting slide 6.
  • Figs. 3, 4a and 4b The details of the device are shown in Figs. 3, 4a and 4b. It is a double arrangement with two swivel arms 40a, b and two four-bar guides 30a, b, each of which shows the front components and is identified by the letter a.
  • the swivel arm 40a is articulated at the articulation point 41a on the lifting slide 6 and has essentially a trapezoidal shape.
  • the four-bar guide 30a is formed by the upper link 31a and the lower link 32a, which are articulated in the articulation points 34a and 37a on the swivel arm 40a and at the other end in the articulation points 35a and 36a on the lifting frame 11, which carries the receiving comb 12 on its upper side that reaches under the edge of the waste container 1. Furthermore, the receiving device 10 has a suction device 13, which is arranged on the lifting frame 11 and lies against the container body and fixes it by applying negative pressure.
  • the upper link 31a of the four-bar guide 30a is extended at its rear end via the articulation point 34a and thus forms an actuating lever 33a. at the end of which the cylinder piston arrangement 21 is articulated with the piston 23 at point 25.
  • the receiving device 10 is pivoted away from the lifting slide 6, the receiving comb 12 moving on an arc around the pivot point 34a. This not only causes a movement away from the lifting carriage, but also a lowering of the Receiving device 10 and thus the receiving comb 12 achieved. In this. Position, the cylinder piston assembly 21 is completely retracted.
  • the articulation point 24 of the cylinder piston arrangement 21 on the lifting slide 6 is located below the articulation point 41a of the swivel arm 40a.
  • the distance between the points 24 and 41a is very large, the articulation point 24 being almost on the vertical 26 passing through the point 41a. This provides a very large swivel angle for tipping into the pouring opening.
  • the articulation point 25 of the cylinder piston arrangement 21 lies above the articulation point 37a and thus in the protected area.
  • the articulation point 25 moves on the circular path 50, which runs between the articulation points 37a and 34a.
  • FIG. 4a The pivoted-in position is shown in FIG. 4a.

  • FIG. 4b This is shown more clearly in the sectional view of FIG. 4b, in which the four-bar guide 30a has been omitted and the view of the four-bar guide 30b is released.
  • the cylinder piston assembly 21 is also shown in section, and it can be seen that the piston 23 is only partially extended. In this position, which corresponds to the driving position of the device, the piston 23 with its articulation point 25 is located in the protected area between the four-bar guides 30a and 30b.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif permettant de vider les poubelles dans un conteneur collecteur (3), qui comprend un dispositif de levage (5) comportant un chariot de levage (6) et au moins un dispositif pivotant (20) associé audit dispositif de levage, sur lequel un dispositif de réception (10) est disposé de façon à saisir la poubelle. Le bras pivotant (40a,b) comporte un dispositif de guidage à quatre articulations (30a,b), constitué d'un bras supérieur (31a,b) et d'un bras inférieur (32a,b), qui porte le châssis de levage (11) avec le dispositif de réception (10). Le bras supérieur (31a,b) se prolonge au-delà de son point d'articulation (34a,b) jusqu'au conteneur de collecte (3) et forme un levier d'actionnement (33a,b). Une structure piston (21) est articulée entre les extrémités libres du levier d'actionnement et le chariot de levage (6). Lorsque la structure piston est actionnée, son point d'articulation (25) se déplace sur le dispositif de guidage (30a,b) en décrivant un arc de cercle (50) entre les deux points d'articulation (34a,b, 37a,b) du dispositif de guidage (30) sur le bras pivotant (40a,b). Cette configuration accroît la liberté au sol des élévateurs verticaux et augmente la hauteur de réception des poubelles sur le dispositif, tout en protégeant la structure piston.
